has been recited over them. Anyone in the habit of talking intoxicants or committing adultery and
indulging in any other evils should recite this Ism 7 times daily. He will soon receive guidance Insha-
Allah. Excessive recital of this Ism is very effective in expelling from the heart the love of this
world. Anyone who reads it 7 times and blows on his or her child soon after birth. Allah will grant
the child protection from all calamities until puberty. Any person who has bad habbits like smoking,
gambeling etc should read this name 7 times all his bad habbits will be gone.

One who grants repentance to whoever He willed among His creatures and accepts his repentance.

this Name. Anyone who is desirous that Allah guides him to seek sincere repentance should read
this Beautiful name 360 times daily after Salatul Duha (Chast). If this Name is said 10 times in the

reads this name 320 times after the prayer of Chasht then God will liten to his tuba.
